Become an Advocate

 

ADVISORY

Aloha concerned advocates, 
 
We wanted to clear up some well-meaning, but inaccurate messaging being shared on social media.
 
House Bill 1735 and Senate Bill1537 have not been heard, the deadlines to do so have passed. Bills cannot move forward without going through the hearing process. HB363 died without a hearing last year.

At its heart, the Hawaiian Humane Society is an advocacy organization. This commitment is spelled out in our mission: to promote the human-animal bond and the humane treatment of all animals. We pursue this mission through high-quality animal care, low-fee and no-fee spay/neuter services, community education and outreach, law enforcement and campaigning for laws that protect animals and support a pet-friendly community. 

Many of the rules protecting animal welfare in Hawaiʻi are the result of advocacy by Hawaiian Humane and our indispensable army of community supporters. Recent successes include City & County funding for no-fee spay/neuter for Free-Roaming cats, mandating microchip identification for pet cats and dogs on Oʻahu, banning the importation of wild animals to the state for the purpose of performing in circuses or fairs and expediting the forfeiture of animals rescued from cruelty. 

We need advocates who are willing to write letters, draft testimony and support current animal welfare initiatives. Call 808-356-2217 or email Advocacy@HawaiianHumane.org to get involved.
